LOL (Even holding my sides.). So tell me, what am I thinking right now? What do you think Tucker is doing right now. I'll guarantee you this. He is not more than 5 feet from me.
Okay, time to get serious, and back to business.
JC, (Yes, this is also something I've said quite a few times.) if that is the case, and you got scared into believing that rumor, then this is going to be good advice for you:
Never (Yes, NEVER) believe anyone or take anyone's word for a forecast or a prediction. When someone tells you this is the way it is according to their methodology, never believe them.
Simply put, the guys that follow this thread know I have a high regard for them. If I name names, I would leave someone out, so I'll just leave it as a blanket statement.
Assuming you at the beginning of the learning curve, when someone introduces a way of looking at the market, I would respect them, but don't believe it until you have harnessed it for yourself and proven to yourself that whatever it is has worked for you personally. Stay open minded. Experiment. Try new ideas. Afterward, a personal methodology will fall in place for you.
Let me add an additional nugget to that. There is no need to be concerned even if some trusted source told you the market is going to drop 2,000 points. That should not matter to you. If you are climbing the learning curve, then you should not be in the market with your live money, so what does it matter how far it will rise or drop?
SJD, just a funny thought I wonder if JC took me for real. He's got to be thinking, "That dude has got to be the quickest typist I've ever seen. He's brand new and already up to 4,400 posts--lol.
Paul, we know you for a year ... and sometimes we can ... complete your sentences ... not the market prediction ones but about Tucker at least.
This guy is totally unknown but his tone was very concerned. Could be someone trying to scare ... apart from TJ, I am a member of a 19000 member mailing list, and if you scare then right, I bet you can move the market at least a few points. Beyond this, no idea, no speculation.
